1 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 What is this document? 1.1.1 This document is the Cleobury Mortimer and surrounding area Place Plan. It summarises and prioritises the local infrastructure needs which are required to support the sustainable development of the area; and identifies the wider investment needs to assist delivery of the community’s vision and aspirations. 1.1.2 The area covered within this plan is identified within the Figure below.

Cleobury Mortimer and surrounding area Place Plan

1.2 What are Place Plans? 1.2.1 The Place Plans are aimed at ensuring the delivery of sustainable places in . They recognise that sustainability is based on many different factors and that what is needed to make and maintain a sustainable community in one place may differ in another. As such, the Place Plans list the priorities, needs and aspirations on a place by place basis for each of Shropshire’s communities. 1.2.2 There are 18 Place Plans in Shropshire. Each Place Plan is based around one of Shropshire’s 18 main towns and its wider hinterland, which comprises Community Hubs, Community Clusters and rural parishes within the surrounding countryside (Rural Hinterland). 1.2.3 The Place Plans are ‘live’ documents that are informed by an ‘annual conversation’ with Town and Parish Councils, infrastructure and service providers. As such, the Place Plans provide an up to date record of infrastructure and investment needs within an area and those priorities which should assist in providing a focus for delivery in the year ahead.

2 1.3 How are the Place Plans used? 1.3.1 The Place Plans provide an important evidence base to:  Support delivery of Shropshire’s Local Plan- ensuring new development is supported by the necessary infrastructure, including identifying requirements for development contributions.  Assist in informing planning decisions- forming a material consideration for planning applications.  Coordinate actions and inform difficult decisions- where future resources should be targeted, by and partner organisations.  Inform local partnership working – ensuring an agreed set of local priorities.  Assist with external funding bids- providing evidence of local investment needs and priorities  Provide transparency to local communities- identifying where local investment is being targeted.

1.4 How are the Place Plans structured? 1.4.1 Each Place Plan consist of five key sections, these are:

1. Introduction The role of Place Plans and the communities covered within the Development Priorities. 2. Community led planning within the Place Plan area Summary of the community vision and priorities within the Place Plan area identified through community led plans and wider consultation work with the local community. 3. Development and associated infrastructure requirements Summary of the development plan for the area, as identified in Shropshire’s Local Plan and the associated infrastructure needs and priorities required to ensure this growth is sustainable, including a plan of how these may be delivered. 4. Wider investment priorities within the Place Plan area Summary of the identified investment needs and priorities required to support the wider sustainability of communities within the Place Plan area. 5. Place Plan Profile Summary of key data for the Place Plan area, to provide background context to the locality and assist in informing future decision making on infrastructure and investment priorities. This is provided in Appendix B.

1.5 Place Plan links to planning and locality commissioning Planning 1.5.1 The Place Plans form part of Shropshire’s Local Plan, outlining the infrastructure requirements which are needed to support the level and location of development, as outlined in Shropshire’s adopted Core Strategy and the Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan.

3 1.5.2 As Shropshire’s Local Plan seeks to link new development to the provision of local community benefits, many of the policies within the Core Strategy and SAMDev Plan refer to the need to consider the local aspirations set out within the Place Plans. As such, the Place Plans are an important material consideration for planning applications. 1.5.3 In addition, the Place Plans provide the framework for the targeted us of developer contributions, including design, S106 and CIL. In particular, the infrastructure priorities identified within the Place Plans informs the content of the CIL Regulation 123 List, which sets out those infrastructure needs which will be delivered through the use of CIL. Please Note: The CIL Regulation 123 List is updated annually, and infrastructure not included within this list, can still benefit from CIL funds in the future.

Locality Commissioning 1.5.4 Shropshire Council is committed to locality commissioning whereby there is a strong focus on working with local communities to find out what is important to them and ensuring local services are targeted appropriately. The Place Plans are central to Shropshire’s locality commissioning approach, as they provide the local evidence base of investment needs and priorities.

1.6 Supporting Shropshire’s economic growth and the strategic priorities of the Marches LEP 1.6.1 The Marches Local Enterprise Partnership includes a number of priorities to drive strategic economic growth in Shropshire. The Place Plans help to support delivery of the LEP’s economic growth priorities which are: Supporting Business - We will create an exceptional business support environment for aspiring growth businesses through access to finance and incentives to innovate. We will promote the Marches as a business investment location Physical Infrastructure - We will provide a compelling business investment offer with a progressive planning framework and infrastructure fit for tomorrow’s business needs. This priority will include supporting the environment. Skills Investment - We will support employers to develop themselves and their workforce and to provide employment opportunities for young people. Low Carbon Economy - We will drive the transition to a high value, low carbon economy, maximising the opportunity in new technologies, reducing environmental costs to business and recognising our environment as an economic asset. Social Inclusion - We will support socially excluded and marginalised groups by removing barriers to their participation in activities that will improve their economic well-being.

4 1.6.2 The needs at a local level for fostering enterprise, business start-up, business competitiveness and expansion, investor development, inward investment, key account management and high growth business sector development is supported through a package of free business support, a wide range of financial incentives and the provision of economic infrastructure such as business parks, industrial estates and small and medium sized work-shops and incubator office space. Information is available from Shropshire Council’s Business and Enterprise Team.

5 2. COMMUNITY LED PLANNING IN THE CLEOBURY MORTIMER AREA

2.1 Cleobury Mortimer Place Plan Area 2.1.1 A number of community led plans have been developed for local communities within the Cleobury Mortimer Place Plan area. These provide a key source of information when considering infrastructure and investment needs within an area and as such are an important basis for the Place Plans. 2.1.2 Appendix A provides detailed information on the community’s needs and priorities identified through the various community led plans; Local Joint Committees; and other community consultations that have occurred within the Place Plan area. 2.1.3 However, to provide a broad understanding of the areas of interest, the below overview summarises those community priorities and key areas of interest set out in detail in Appendix A.

10 3.1 Vision to guide development in the Cleobury Mortimer Place Plan Area 3.1.1 Shropshire’s Core Strategy (March 2011) sets out the strategic vision and objectives to guide development and growth for the period 2006- 2026. This includes a vision for Cleobury Mortimer (Policy CS3) and the surrounding Hubs, Clusters (Policy CS4) and Rural Hinterland (Policy CS5), as follows: CLEOBURY MORTIMER TOWN (Core Strategy Policy CS3) Cleobury Mortimer will have development that balances environmental constraints with meeting local needs.

COMMUNITY HUBS (Core Strategy Policy CS4) Community Hubs will have development that helps to rebalance rural communities by providing facilities, economic development or housing for local needs that is of a scale appropriate to the settlement.

COMMUNITY CLUSTERS (Core Strategy Policy CS4) Community Clusters are comprised of two or more smaller settlements, where the combined settlements offer a range of services contributing to a sustainable community. Community Clusters will have development that helps to rebalance rural communities by providing facilities, economic development or housing for local needs that is of a scale appropriate to the settlement.

RURAL HINTERLAND (CORE STRATEGY POLICY CS5) New development will be strictly controlled in accordance with national planning policies protecting the countryside and Green Belt. Subject to further controls over development that apply to the Green Belt, development proposals on appropriate sites which maintain and enhance countryside vitality and character will be permitted where they improve the sustainability of rural communities by bringing local economic and community benefits.

3.1.2 Within the Cleobury Mortimer Place Plan area, there are no Community Hubs but a number of Community Clusters:

Community Clusters  Kinlet, Button Bridge, and Button Oak  and Doddington  Oreton, Farlow and Hill Houses  Silvington, Bromdon, Loughton and Wheathill  Stottesdon, Chorley and

3.1.3 All remaining settlements within the Place Plan area form part of the Rural Hinterland. 3.1.4 Detailed proposals to deliver the strategic vision within the Core Strategy are contained within the Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) document which together with the Core Strategy forms Shropshire’s Local Plan for 2006-2026.

11 3.1.5 The SAMDev Plan sets out the following detailed development policies for the Cleobury Mortimer Place Plan area: Housing Employment Settlement Allocations guideline guideline Market Town Cleobury Mortimer 350 dwellings 0.7 hectares  Land off Tenbury Road (12 dwellings).  Land at New House Farm (7 dwellings).  Land adjacent to Cleobury Mortimer Industrial Estate, New House Farm (0.7 hectares of employment land). Community Clusters Kinlet, Button Bridge, Button 30 dwellings N/A  Land off Little Stocks Close (20 Oak dwellings). Hopton Wafers and 12 dwellings N/A N/A Doddington Oreton, Farlow and Hill 12 dwellings N/A N/A Houses Silvington, Bromdon, 12 dwellings N/A N/A Loughton and Wheathill Stottesdon, Chorley and 12 dwellings N/A N/A Bagginswood 3.2 Associated Infrastructure Requirements 3.2.1 To ensure new development is sustainable, it is important that it is supported by the necessary infrastructure. 3.2.2 The below table details the infrastructure requirements which have been identified as needed to support the level and location of development for the Cleobury Mortimer Place Plan, as set out above. These infrastructure requirements have been identified through:  Annual Place Plan ‘conversation’ with Town and Parish Councils and Shropshire Council elected Members  Annual Place Plan ‘conversation’ with local infrastructure and service providers.  Discussions with stakeholders regarding specific development sites 3.2.3 Whilst it is important that the Place Plan sets out all known infrastructure requirements, it is vital that these are prioritised in order to provide a focus for delivery. Core Strategy Policy CS9 (Infrastructure Contributions) provides the framework for prioritising infrastructure requirements, as follows:

1. Critical Infrastructure: the essentials without which development cannot take place, such as utilities, water management and safe access. 2. Priority Infrastructure: that which has been identified by the community as a particular priority at that point in time. 3. Key Infrastructure: all other infrastructure not included in the previous two categories.

3.2.4 The below table also sets out the recommended mechanism for delivery, taking into account the roles and responsibilities of delivery partners and the regulations governing the use of different funding streams, including developer contributions.

12 3.2.5 However, whilst the Place Plan provide a framework for delivery, enabling the coordination of resources around an agreed set of priorities, it is important to recognise that not all the infrastructure items listed below may be deliverable at a particular point in time. 3.2.6 For infrastructure items to be delivered through the use of CIL funding (in full or part), it would usually be identified within the annual CIL Regulation 123 List.
